Around 1914: Design in a New Age

Around 1914: Design in a New Age is an exhibit of over 100 works by WWI-era European designers and decorative artists. Caught in a continent in ever-escalating conflict, these creatives sought to marry technology and the highest quality standards to ensure they broke away from the artistic revivalism of their time. The results, The Arts and Craft Movement and Art Nouveau, set the stage for the modern art movement and its fragmented, often rebellious interpretations of unbridled industrialization. See pieces by the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, Christopher Dresser, Carlo Bugatti, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Archibald Knox, Emile Gallé, Georg Jensen, Otto Wagner, and Josef Hoffmann.
